| GIRLS'
BILL OF RIGHTS |
At
Girls Incorporated we believe that
girls have the right to live fully,
openly, and safely in this world-just
like everyone else. But a lot of
girls find that other people's
ideas about girls and women make
it hard for them to reach for their
dreams and achieve their goals.
Girls Inc. is working hard to change
that situation. By inspiring girls
to stand up for their rights, we
can educate everyone-girls and
boys, women and men- about
the unlimited talents, desires,
and potential of girls . Our
goal is to help every girl understand,
value, and stand up for her rights.
The Girls' Bill of Rights helps
educate girls and encourage girls
to know their rights and use them. |
